The Connecticut General Assembly is currently considering a law that would allow students to opt out of animal dissection and be provided with humane alternatives. If you live in Connecticut, please help students like Mary and Rachel by letting your legislators know that students should not be forced to harm animals in classrooms. You can also join the cause on Facebook.

PETA offers a free "Cut Out Dissection" pack to help students, teachers, parents, or anyone else work to ban dissection in schools or at least convince schools to offer students a humane learning method. E-mail [email protected] to get your pack.
